Al,

If the guy wants to spend his time digging parts out of old cars so 
that he can supply me with (presumably) inexpensive used parts and 
make a buck or two doing so then by all means let him. As long as he 
trades fairly, doesn't create an environmental hazard, and doesn't 
bother anyone, let him go about his business. It's a free country, right?

That's my opinion anyway.

As far as how to deal with the problem of that guy being harassed by 
others, well... that's a tough one. One approach would be to tell the 
people harassing him to stop doing so. Or posting a guideline for 
what's kosher to trade on the marketplace.
